Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Authors: David Salzer, Patrick Santoso

University of New Hampshire Technology Transfer Center partnered with the NH Departments of Safety and Transportation to analyze GIS Crash data as part of the �Driving Toward Zero� initiative. The goal was to reduce crashes and determine optimum Police placement for the 2013 Laconia Bike Week. Geo-spatial, temporal, and hub and spoke analysis revealed most dangerous routes by time period and allowed state police to tailor deployments to maximum effect.
